Levi Mericle Poet Rhyme

Civility

Tortured by sheer civility 
Civility tortured by me
Duties lie in the world of pain 
Challenged by poetry 

Who dies, who lives, who cries for life
Meek in emotion for thee
Who dies, who lives, who cries for life
Death from civility

Debbie Guzzi June 17, 2009 at 4:48 PM It's hard being civil? Well, I guess, because of the semantic diffenition of the word civil? I thought Lusciuos Pieces was civil but some didn't (shrug). Light & Love

Not Anymore April 15, 2009 at 6:29 PM It's got a good beat. I would write a follow-up explaining what about civility is so horrible; or maybe an attack on rebelion as well. Oh, and welcome to poetry soup.
